This week in infamous Fall River history

picture Herald News

One year ago this week, 7,561 voter signatures of the nearly 10,000 collected, were certified on the referendum petition to keep the fire chief a civil service position. One year ago this week Bob Correia decided he didn't give a crap about the decision of 7,561 voters. Please keep this in mind when you make your decision for mayor. In addition to mayoral candidate bob correia, also keep in mind Cathy Ann Viveiros' disregard for the voters voice; she too thought she knew better than the 10,000 signatories and opted to ignore them.

Steve Camara, Ray Hague, and Leo Pelletier (who is currently on my sh!t list) were the only councilors to support the voters in this matter.

Ignorance....featuring Bob Correia, Joan Menard, and unaccounted voices of the state legislature

The Massachusetts State Legislature chose to ignore the voices of 7,561 Fall River registered voters and proceed with the Fire Chief change from civil service to contract.

As ignorant as they come, State Senator Joan Menard- former boss/mentor of Adam "Chappy" Chapdelaine said in the Herald News, that in her 10 years in the Senate and 20 more in the House, she had never seen a voter referendum petition filed against a Home Rule request. “I give them credit. They’re concerned about it." ......YES WE ARE CONCERNED! yet a group of politicians lead by Bob Correia and Joan Menard willfully chose to ignore our voices.

Please do 2 things:
1) DO NOT VOTE FOR BOB CORREIA OR JOAN MENARD EVER AGAIN
2) PLEASE Contact Governor Patrick to voice your concern about
the situation - he is able to veto the bill. Remind him about
the 7,561 registered voters that said NO to a contract fire chief.
